            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutTitle}">What is the Maquina Fountain?</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">William Conrad Severson designed and installed the Maquina Fountain in the summer of 1994.</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">For a period, students enrolled in university classes maintained and programmed the fountain. Over time and for various reasons, Enlight became the sole caretakers of the fountain.</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutTitle}">How does the Maquina Fountain work?</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">The structure is comprised of two sections: the north and south ends. The south end is 18 feet tall and is made of stainless steel. In front of it are metal bollards with infrared sensor that manipulate the fountain. On the sculpture, two rings make up the main part of the Maquina sculpture. Each ring has 10 small valves and 4 larger valves. Water runs down the spillway, goes through two filters, and is recycled in a 10,000-gallon tank. The north end operates from a separate tank. This tank pushes water down a separate spillway and drains into the north pool. The pool contains two bubble tubes that are 24 feet tall and jets that are around the edges of the pool.</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutTitle}">What does the Enlight Fountain Control Group do?</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">The Enlight Fountian Control Group (aka Enlight) was formed in 2008. A group of students started working with the original PLC's under the fountain and programmed them. Over time, they were able to aquire a National Insturment's compact Reprogrammable I/O Device. That device now runs the fountain along side a Microsoft C# server that sends commands to it. Moving forward to today, Enlight continues to make new advances with both the software and hardware that runs and controls the fountain.</TextBlock>
